There are a fair number of tours available like this. This company doesn’t rent boats for punting yourself. That said, I would recommend this group especially if you want a leisurely trip. It was a little over an hour, and we were paired with a nice family of ten. Adam, our punter, had a lot of history at hand, and did a great job describing the history of buildings and bridges we saw.

Easy to book on Viator and the gondola was really good, had a table which most don’t and also supplied umbrella. Took my 7 month son on which I did not have to pay for.

Arundel hotel house was perfectly close to the punting activity. We didn’t realize that if you book through Expedia you pay a fee for a car 18 pounds. But great restaurant, good free breakfast. Rooms were nice.
